    Well I didn't know it was less.. But still... Ironic huh? It's just hype, it'll die down...

    Just like Foot and Mouth Disease was bad and there were very very few incidents...

    Apparently there was a confirmed case of the H1N1 Flu Virus (Swine Flu) at PAX (Penny Arcade Expo).

    They are telling everyone who has symptoms to seek out help just incase.

    LOL

    yeah well TB isn't fatal I don't think, I'm usually quite healthy and rarely get ill, I won't die at any rate. It justs causes coughs (how it spreads) and fever.

    Over is au it's the children and the elderly first...and because of the number I won't be joining that number...

    Besides-despite me working with people alot and outdoors I doubt I'll need it-if it's like any other cold I'll just pass it on and get better next day XD

    This thread is the first time I've heard of it, actually.

    the ironic thing is that TB had been eradicated in the developed world before the swarms of third world immigrants brought it back. And yes TB can well be fatal. H1N1 itself seems to have mostly disappeared, although the WHO seems to think it will make a reappearance some time in the future.

    yeah apparently it can merge with other illnesses to create even worse illnesses, or a merging of symptons that could prove fatal to quite a lot of people.. And yeah I heard about it coming back with the cold weather expected in Winter when peoples Immune systems are not 100% efffective due to colds and the like.
